ZIMBABWE Liberation War Association Secretary-general Victor Matemadanda yesterday accused Bulawayo Provincial Minister of State Affairs Eunice-Sandi Moyo as a lier and a member of the former Vice president Joice Mujuru party.
"She (Moyo) has been one of the leaders of Gamatox. We know how she moved from there to the current set-up, but then she goes on to lie to the First Lady (Grace Mugabe) pretending to be loving the First Lady and First Family when we know she is still linked to (expelled former Vice-President Joice) Mujuru," he claimed.
"If we have people like Sandi Moyo, who think their other side is not known, then they will keep lying to the President (Mugabe), so that people will not get a chance to give the correct story about these people. We as war veterans have decided to tell it as it is."
Matemadanda said they had documented numerous alleged misdeeds by Grace's juniors. He claimed Moyo was running a vehicle project for women in Bulawayo on behalf of Mujuru and that the Bulawayo Provincial Affairs minister was closer to the axed vice-president than to Grace and was also clandestinely campaigning to dislodge Mnangagwa and his counterpart, Phelekezela Mphoko.
"We are prepared to prove that and if there is going to be commotion and confusion in the women's league for the good, then we will be happy about that because we are not fabricating or creating stories," he said.
"We are saying what we know is true. We hope this is going to save our party because it was near collapse as a result of these people, who always lie to the First Family and we now want to expose them."
Moyo yesterday dismissed Matemadanda's accusations, saying she had no time to respond to his allegations.
"He (Matemadanda) just wants to create confusion. I don't belong to the war veterans' association. He is not a spokesperson of Zanu-PF, so I don't listen to what he says," she fumed.
"I know where I belong and I belong to Zanu-PF. He has been going all over the country fighting everyone.
"What does he know about me that is not known by my friends? Matemadanda is not my friend. We want to focus on women's league issues and I don't have time for his allegations," Moyo said.
